Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Kingston Vol]

I parked in the garage 2 blocks from TBA. I don't remember how much it was, but it wasn't $30. Maybe $20.

Think prices go up now that we’re good and there’s more demand.

Ulysses calling a multi-year starter on an SEC football team a horrible football player is literally the worst take I've read all week.... and I read a lot of stupid things.

Guys, all you have to do is just go back and look at the game film. Something was going on with him because he was responsible for a ton of pre-snap penalties. It was almost like he didn't even know the snap count.

Would have tremendous respect for Holly if she did step aside. I feel awful for her it hasn’t worked out. She was one of Pats closest friends. Not succeeding has to be so hard on her mentally and emotionally.

Does Dilfer agreeing to take over a HS team in Nashville give anyone else the thought they are going to attempt an IMG/Grayson type situation in a city that is starting to grow in talent? It seems like a strange move from his perspective

I think she steps down as well. I believe the pressure of replacing Pat has been too much for her.

I think he lives there anyway. I could be wrong.

 

[RoSmitty12]

Any visitors this weekend? At cafe 4 and looks like some recruits just walked in with hostesses.

[T Dog]

That was Soooooo good.

I think he enjoyed the coaching aspect of the Elite
11 more than the reality show. Maybe he has
broader coaching ambitions and this is a good start on that path or this is perfect for him.

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

[T Dog]

I was joking. It was a picture of a black guy and a white guy so obviously his cousin was the black guy. Nb4 that's racist gif.

Still think he needs his own thread. Other PWO have theirs. And with so many Shulers it would clarify who's who. If I could I would, but that ain't my forte.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sometimes, as fans, we overstep the bounds of criticism into becoming insulting. Not living up to our expectations does not make any of these young men horrible people. Maybe bad football players, but not bad people. It's easy to get carried away with rhetoric.

I've never said anything about what kind of person Richmond is outside of football. I don't think he cares that much about doing what it takes to get better at football...which is what he came here to do, or at least it is why he was supposed to come here.

I think he is one of those Champions of Life guys Botch recruited by selling a laizze-fare, country club atmosphere...which is why he clashes with the staff we have now IMO. They push him to realize his potential, and IMO he didn't sign up for that.

That does not make him a bad person at all...

But it has made him a horrible football player.

He said yesterday on 104.5 that he had been living in Austin for the past 15 months and Seattle before that.

I’d highly recommend his interview on the 3hL (afternoon drive time show) yesterday to anyone. He told how he ended up at Lipscomb Academy and he was fired up!

 

[engineerVOL]

Withrow doesn’t usually have any news to break so that’s piquing my interest. He broke some random Tennessee story last year I recall can’t remember what.

I think I heard him say on an interview yesterday on 104.5 that his family was living somewhere in Texas I think. Very strong Christian faith and loves spreading that message. Said he was on his way to Univ. of Louisville to get one of his daughters settled in who I think is a volleyball player when he got a call to gauge his interest in becoming head coach at Lipscomb Academy and agreed to stop in Nashville and have lunch with their reps and discuss. To make a long story short, he got excited about it, discussed with his wife and children and then agreed to the move. It is all on one of their podcasts and is an interesting listen

 

[Volnut]

For those that don’t know, does the midday show on 104.5 in Nashville

Who are her assistants and which would likely be the one to take the helm if this is true?

Micky Deerstone could still do the play by play and give hand signals to the players during game. Probably work as well as what we've seen the last several games.

Yes, there's Lance LeGendre, Dywan Griffin, and Jammie Robinson in the 2019 class. Tons of 2020 guys too. Guys from Marietta, a few in-state kids like Marcus Henderson and Tee Hodge, and others.

Maybe I’m thinking of one of the Hasselbecks?

Can someone post it, the interview.

 

[bluegrasser]

Wow, that gave me goose bumps AND a little moisture in the eyes.

What a great memory!!

 

[BruinVol]

To be fair that's pretty much the same penalty that was imposed on Phil. Slap on the wrist.

Yep. In fact it's not even a penalty at all. If he can't coach what difference does it make he wasn't allowed to be at practice

A little? Not a true Vol fan.
